The sharpest satire is of a fictional cable host named Ellen Abbott who serves as a televised Greek chorus throughout the movie.Wed, 14 Jan 2015 23:33:00 +0000David Folkenflik44382 at http://tpr.orgNancy Grace Says 'Gone Girl' Satire Was Flattering, Made Her Laugh Out LoudNPR Appoints Longtime Print Reporter As New Ombudsmanhttp://tpr.org/post/npr-appoints-longtime-print-reporter-new-ombudsman
